Case Study

State University, United States

This public university in the US, is known as one of the top 50 universities worldwide. Having to manage hundreds of different IT systems made it challenging since the environment is highly distributed and generates dozens of Gigabytes per day.

Significant man hour saved by unified system and adopting a proactive approach

Better data protection and quality control

Why Choose XpoLog?

When Open Source is not enough. The university encountered numerous critical issues in their environments that led to different services suspensions and various interruptions due to slow troubleshooting and lack of proactive error isolation. In order to speed up these processes, the university tried to implement a known open source product and experimenting with building and maintaining its own solution. However, this turned out to be a failure as the “open source” product required huge hardware and storage and very high maintenance and additional investment in a local system. Ironically, a system that was supposed to save time consumed a lot of time leading to their eventual selection of XpoLog.

All inclusive. XpoLog is now used by the sysadmins in the university including security, network, infrastructure and applications. Data is collected from numerous applications and devices – including web servers, firewall logs, operating systems and databases.

All data in one console. The initial engagement of XpoLog was by the networking teams and very quickly it was adopted by additional teams to get more values out of the data and save allot of time managing and monitoring the environment.

“XpoLog saves our teams hours of work every day. The log analysis was a major delayer in our troubleshooting and now it’s the first thing we do”
